2 star hotels in Otsu

Everything was great, except the doors were quite heavy so they made a sound whenever we had to key in the room code. t

Extremely friendly staff! Very nice stay in beautiful Kyoto. Very accessible to all kinds of places!

The place is clean, including a very functional and well kept kitchen.   Very helpful staff, she facilitated my early checkout outside her working hourly, Thank you do much.

I was traveling alone this time, and couldn't find a hotel during a busy holiday period. This hostel exceeded my expectations; it was incredibly clean and tidy, and had all the facilities needed. The ground floor is a bistro where you can have brunch or drinks, and it has a great atmosphere. The location is also excellent, very close to Shijo Ohashi Bridge and Kamo River. Takashimaya for shopping and...

It's okay. It's my second time staying here. I think it's the same room. It's a 1-minute walk to Slo and 5 minutes to Suba.Kyoto. So I highly recommend it. It's very close to the river and the price is reasonable.

Great location with plenty to explore nearby. The restaurant/bar downstairs is very comfortable and the service is good. I'd definitely stay here again. Hotel guests get discount coupons for the bar downstairs – highly recommended for those who like a modern aesthetic with a touch of natural wood.

Outstanding hotel.  The service was fantastic, best we’ve had in Japan.  Great help booking restaurants and tours.  And a great location.  Can’t wait to come back!

We returned from a great stay at the Rinn Gion during Thanksgiving week 2025. If you are looking for a hotel on a quiet street outside of the busy city spots but steps from to , 7-11, and a short walk to the public train station, book this now! I must say the best part of our stay was the BEDS! They were SO comfortable with cozy bedcovers! Additionally, the room was a good size (we had two twins which...

Fantastic! The room was spotless and the service was excellent. I would definitely book here again.

This was my first time visiting Kyoto, and I chose to stay at a guesthouse. My experience was excellent! The host was incredibly welcoming and friendly. I would absolutely stay here again and plan to return to this guesthouse next year.

This hotel is incredibly close to many attractions. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by the pleasant aroma of essential oils. Most nearby sights are easily reachable on foot, and it's super convenient for dining and shopping in the Shijo area. The hotel itself is quiet, and the rooms are surprisingly spacious. We also loved the complimentary small desserts. The in-room microwave was a fantastic...

Excellent location, a quiet oasis in the heart of the city.

Good place and location , a lot of technological innovations which is pretty cool

If you want to make international friends and are into the backpacker vibe, this is the place for you. Very clean. Polite staff. Able to store luggage before check in. Location is right in the middle of the tourist district. Sometimes the elevator was very slow to pick you up if a busy time. My capsule room had a rip in the screen which let light in. Of course, the nature of this hotel is you are close...

Overall great experience at the Millenials Kyoto. When you arrive there is a possibility to leave your luggage before check-in. The bed is quite comfortable, the bathroom could be a bit cleaner -＞dust falling from the A.C fan… The service is impeccable (there is even unlimited cofee/hot chocolate… available all day long) Breakfast could have more fresh pastries (they where taken out of the plastic...

Hotels in Kyoto are really expensive during autumn leaf season, so this place is a great value for solo travelers. They provide slippers and towels, and the shared bathrooms are very clean and modern. The showers are spacious, and the staff are friendly. It's a bit of a walk to the subway on the main street, but very convenient for buses. Everyone staying here is quite quiet. The only downside is the...

The location is perfect with nice environment. The staff is friendly. Excellent place for people doing digital nomad

This capsule hotel was a great experience ! The capsule itself was big, the bed was comfortable. The common area had a nice vibe with people chilling all around. Very good location! I would definitely like to come back :)

Really good location here. Really good location here. relax

Clean, quite and convenient. A very good place to stay a while.

The hotel is located right outside the Otsu Station ticket gates. Entering the property is through the attached bar and restaurant. Most of the nearby restaurants seem to close around 11pm. There are no cooking utensils, but you can bring your own food and drink in the common areas. There are also pots and water dispensers, so we were able to eat cup ramen inside the hotel.

Excellent establishment, the staff are very pleasant and everything is very clean.

I used it last time, and the location, directly connected to the station, is very convenient. The showers, powder rooms, and other facilities are spacious and clean, making it a pleasant experience. I'd like to use it again.

Excellent location, right at the station. Check in 16h00. No wifi offered. Hotel access via public restaurant - feels weird to walk between diners to go out / return. Lockers far too narrow even for airline carry-on. Bathroom is clean, shower has small dry area, and water pressure varies. Capsules are spacious with power socket, lights, shelf, etc. The mattress is a few cm thick piece of soft foam...

I stayed at two different hotels for three nights in Kyoto, and this one completely exceeded my expectations. The hotel was very close to the attractions, the bedroom was huge, and the mattress was comfortable. The hotel also had a dryer, which was a huge plus. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Kyoto. Highly recommend it!

Thank you for taking care of me on my family trip I could cook what I bought in the kitchen and I could relax on the king size bed. Yasaka Shrine is also nearby ⛩ where I want to go.

I went there for lunch. It was a fine day, and the location was great. I was able to enjoy a relaxing meal in a calm atmosphere. All the dishes were seasoned to bring out the flavor of the ingredients, and the meat was tender and filling. It was a great menu that made me feel like it was autumn. I would definitely come back.

This was the last night of my trip to Lake Biwa with my high school classmates. If you call the hotel before taking the train or after arriving at Karasaki Station, there's a shuttle bus service (check the website for schedules). I checked beforehand and it seems to be a KKR-affiliated hotel. Upon arrival, my first impression was, "The selection of shops is amazing!" They have everything from Lake...

The hotel is well located, right on the shores of Lake Biwa

The hotel is well located, right on the shores of Lake Biwa

This was my second time using the facility. I felt comfortable there the last time, but it was difficult to get a reservation, so I finally managed to get one this time. Just like last time, the staff were very friendly, and the dinner and breakfast were delicious, so I was very satisfied. However, when I asked the front desk if I wanted to use the facility over the New Year holidays, I was told that...

New hotel with a clean, spacious room and everything you need. The area is nice and quiet at night, so I slept really well. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Staff was friendly and polite. Room is clean and comfortable. Location is a strong point as the hotel is very central and within walking distance to temples and shopping district.

For this price, the value for money is really good. However, they don't offer room cleaning, but they do provide towel changes. There's a free coffee machine on the first floor. The location on Huajian Road is also very convenient. Overall, the size of the room is perfectly fine for one person. Recommended!

Fantastic hotel. Great location, super helpful employees (who called a bike rental place for us), and good lobby with tea and coffee. There is no breakfast available, but we ususally got breakfast at a convenience store and ate it in the lobby. I would book here again.

Nice hotel and very well positioned! The receptionists are always happy to help you and generally they always speak English! PS. They also sell the fragrance you can smell in the hotel, this is very nice!!

The hotel is so good and we love the location! Thank you so much for this experience

The room was beautiful, clean and staff were efficient and gracious.

Awesome experience staying here at Rinn Gion Kenninji! Nicely decorated room, great ambience and walking distance to main attractions in Kyoto. Highly recommend

The room was clean, tidy, and spacious, and even had a bathtub where you could relax after a long day! The location was also quite convenient, making it a great place for a family to stay, and you could also experience a Japanese style!

Wonderful stay for 4 of us, wife with teens. Hotel apartment next to temple, quiet area to walk about, yet restaurants within a block. Live the nearby ramen and udon places. The river a couple of blocks away was great for morning run. Waking distance to larger shopping districts across the river. Waking distance to larger sites and temples in our side of river. Great set up for our first visit to Kyoto

Good location and good service

The main advantage of this hotel is the location in the old parts of town, which means that you can walk to several of the attractions. For example, there was a great temple and museum right behind the hotel. Some of the rooms are very small though. I would recommend paying extra to get a little larger room otherwise you will feel like you’re in a boat cabin

This was better then we expected. Really nice location, close to the old town (walking distance), but still quite. Some of our favorites restaurants where from the street next to the hotel.

Small but convenient and quiet and comfortable Nice location in Gion, close to noteworthy points both at night and during the day Very good value for money overall

The room was rather small; with two large suitcases open, space had to be cleverly utilized. Room cleaning was done at fixed times, every other day, but towels were changed and trash disposed of daily upon request. The room seemed well soundproofed; I heard very little noise during my four-night stay. The hotel is located in a small alley; the road in front is a 17-minute walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple...

I thought the location would be a bit off-putting, considering it's a bit far from Kyoto Station, but it's also close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and there were more restaurants and attractions nearby than I expected! The facilities were nice, and most importantly, the staff were friendly!

I was staying alone, so there was no need for an extra bed. The room was spacious enough for one person, and could even accommodate two people with luggage. However, you need to pick up your own toothbrush and toothpaste from a designated area when you go upstairs, as there are none in the bathroom. The best thing about this place is its proximity to Gion-Shijo (within 10 minutes) and Kiyomizu-dera...

Clean, the front desk staff is friendly and amiable, the location is close to Kiyomizu Temple, the toilet is big enough, there are water dispensers, ice machines and ice buckets for guests to use, the only drawback is that there is no cleaning service (you need to pay extra)

Great place. The needs were super comfortable. I woke up feeling great every day. Well-managed. Clean, good communication, and helpful.

Recommended. The location is quiet and the environment is clean. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. Overall, the stay was comfortable and suitable for travelers looking for a peaceful place to rest. The heated toilet seat was a nice touch, especially during cold weather. Additional note: The nearest FamilyMart further ahead (the first one in the middle) is not recommended, as one...

The location is convenient and in a quiet street and in a normal Japanese street (with apartments, a school and a few restaurants). The rooms are nice and the staff is helpful. You can escape the crowds of Kyoto when staying here.

very nice, confortable, close to the river and train station.

Staff is very kind, and the included amenities are also surprisingly nice! The bed included a body pillow. Part of the Kyoto Go To Travel campaign, so it was 40% off with coupons, ultimately a very pleasant stay.

There are many restaurants 2 minutes away from the accommodation. Steakhouse. Amazon Teahouse. Ramen House. Sandwich cafe. Homemade breakfast. Bakery and curry shop. All excellent. Two konbini. Kiyomizu in front of the house. Gion Kawaramachi. Convenient to anywhere. Fare 15,000 won Notification a day in advance All room amenities are provided. McDonald's nearby. Eat on the 2nd floor. Now, if you eat...

Budget friendly homestay. Please note that there's will be tax before check in. It's Kyoto city accommodation tax. 200¥ per night per pax. Overall we very satisfied with our stay. Worth the price. There's 7 Eleven 1-2 minutes walking distance. There's bus stop 5 minutes walking distance. Nearest subway entrance 8-10 minutes. They provide hanger but not enough hanging spot. You can wash your clothes...

The room was clean, spacious for 2 people, well equipped with basic necessities for a short stay. There is a convenience store nearby, and the bus and train stations weren't too far away either.

We stayed at a discount! It was nice to be clean.

We booked again, different room. This one was better than the last. No complaints besides a noisy heater unit(not noisy on low)

A nice airbnb. Very modern and located very good inside Kyōto.

The room for two is great, I can open my 28” suitcase. This is very rare in Japan. Also, it’s very quite. I had a good time there.

The accommodation was so beautiful and spacious that it was a great place to stay for two nights and three days. The first floor had tatami mats, and once I stepped in, I almost couldn't get out.

In September 2024, my family stayed for 4 days at Enishi Tofukuji during our trip to Kyoto. I was really satisfied because the house was very convenient, with a kitchen, a beautiful living room, spacious bedrooms, and all the necessary equipment for easy use.

Excellent accommodation for your stay in Kyoto. The atmosphere is perfect, the apartment is comfortable and well-equipped, and the owner is very friendly. It's also close to the train station, making it easy to get around. The best accommodation I've had so far in Kyoto. I highly recommend it! Note: Some spaces (especially the bathroom) are cramped, the traditional Japanese size. I'm 6'1" (182 cm...

The Japanese-style building had a great atmosphere, and the stay was very comfortable. Importantly, it's very close to both subway and bus stations. The bathroom was small, but it had a bathtub for soaking.

Happy experience living in a japanese authentic house..

This Best Delight Group hotel is located in Otsu City. It's a super-hot area with three hotels from the group. This time, I stayed in Room 203. There was ample space and a water server. The sink and toilet seat were in the same space, but the bathtub was separate. Because the bathtub was broken (it wouldn't fill with hot water), I received a 10% discount. It seems there were several other rooms with...

Thank you for letting me stay multiple nights. I stayed here for multiple nights. It feels a little old, but it was a very comfortable stay! The staff were also kind and welcoming, so I felt at ease!

When I order food, I wish they would stop handing it to me. I wish they would bring it to me at the door or inside. Please fix the water and shower faucet. And the jacuzzi too. The service is good, but I wish they would fix that one thing.

I thought the staff were very helpful. I had a very pleasant stay. Thank you for your help.

A right laugh The complemtary bath salt was a nice touch and the snacks. We had alot of fun and alot of laughs here.

I climbed the nearby rock climbing gym until 10:30 PM, and when I couldn't get an Uber and was about to miss the last bus, I asked the restaurant owner for help. Thanks to her, I finally managed to hail a taxi back to the station. That was amazing!

Very people oriented. Like the concept of tbis hotel and the service was prompt & excellent. Stays 2 nights & enjoyed night photography of Hokan-ji Temple.

Everything was great but we had internet issues. All the staff were excellent in customer service most especially Scion from Myanmar.

Amazing location, staff were excellent, cleanly and lots of space. Wish we could have stayed longer! 10/10.

Very nice hotel, prime location, staff was amazing !! Would most certainly stay at this location next visit

Hidden gem. In the heart of it all.. what a great location. All the hotels in the surrounding area are extremely over priced with less of a view. This hotel is amazing with affordable prices. They exceeded my expectations. I would definitely stay here again. Only thing is that the hotel should have one more than one employee at the hotel at a time. We had 6 big luggage's and the unfortunate sweet girl...

Perfect location with a stunning view of the pagoda right from the window. It was a great experience. They also offer coffee and toast for breakfast. Everything was wonderful — stylish interior and plenty of space, which is rare for hotels in Japan

Ok. First of all leave your expectations at home expecting hotel level service. Once you've done that if you want a cheap but clean place to stay this is it. This is a seinenkan - a facility for youth and youth-related organizations to conduct independent study and recreational activities, many of which have basic accommodation facilities but higher grade facilities than youth hostels. They are located...

It's like a training center facility. The staff are very friendly. Toilet The bathroom is separate from the room.

It's very clean. The staff is very respectful, helpful and hard-working. I really enjoyed my stay.

I stayed in a four-person room. The mattress and quilt were very comfortable. My roommates were both German and Japanese. They were all very quiet and polite. A very clean traditional Japanese hotel. It was a good opportunity for me to experience Japanese home life. The boss was also very nice. It was raining in Kyoto and I checked out. She also gave me an umbrella. I would recommend everyone to stay...

This is a dormitory-style guesthouse next to Kyoto University, not a youth hostel, which is also its charm in my opinion. Living here requires consideration for others and certain climbing skills. In short, whether the accommodation is good or not depends mainly on the roommate, which is a matter of luck and probability. The store itself has done its best.

Clean and nice hostel in a quiet area. A bit far from the center, but there is a metro station nearby. Also nearby is a supermarket. I liked the room for 4 guests and the spacious common area. Showers and toilets are in good condition.

The futons, shared spaces, and bathrooms were clean, the room was warm, and there were plenty of handy things like tissues and hairdryers, so I had a comfortable stay. As a dormitory, it was perfect and I slept soundly. The owner and staff were kind and reassuring. I'd like to use this hostel again if I have business at Kyoto University.

The cleanest hotel I've ever seen! So quiet and nice. Blankets are super comfortable, very soft and warm. Want to have the same to home. Be warned that it is impossible to get into hotel after midnight

Everything was super nice! Clean, safe, kind and calm.

Clean, the dormitory of 4 was connected to the private bathroom and shower. Easily, by far, the best experience in Japan of 3 hostels. And the best part is the staff members, everyone has been so welcoming and showed kindness. Totally recommend! Also the Japanese breakfast was very very good.

people were nice and i took one beautiful picture ^_^

Super cozy the owner is amazing

The inn is clean and comfortable, with convenient transportation. They offer free breakfast and fruit. It's very close to Kiyomizu-dera Temple and the National Museum. The owner is super nice, and I'd definitely come back if I have the chance!

Free breakfast was enough, including a lot of fruits and bread and yogurt and coffee and milk and so on.

The place is very clean and conveniently located with bus stop right at he corner. The only disadvantage is that it has no elevator so need to carry the luggage up n down the stairs

I'm from Taiwan, and this B&B was absolutely amazing! My aunt and I have already agreed that we'll stay here again next time we visit. 🤭

A truly unforgettable stay! I accidentally left my camera on the bus, and the front desk staff immediately called the bus station to help. Within a few hours, they had news of the lost and found. It was also great to be able to communicate in Chinese at the hotel. Everything was perfect and comfortable.

room very good， good Service recommend to our my friend, location good too

Literally the best hotel I have ever stayed in! I have traveled around the world and this was the cleanest place I have ever stayed, I was shocked at how well organized and clean it was! The bathrooms were shared but spotless. The staff were also very nice! I could not have had a better experience, I will definitely come back here if I come back to Kyoto.

The lady is Super helpful would recommend everyone to come

The room, Seiran, overlooked a Japanese garden, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Those who appreciate traditional Japanese houses will find this a truly satisfying experience. Breakfast, enjoyed amidst the beautiful garden views, was a perfect way to start the day. The hostess was incredibly kind and attentive; I'll definitely bring friends back next time.

The small town of Otsu is a place I really love. It's quiet, not crowded with tourists, and right next to Lake Biwa. The tea room in the common area is beautiful, with a small garden, and the public bathroom is very clean. The only downside is that the all-wooden townhouses have almost no sound insulation, so I wouldn't recommend it for those who have trouble sleeping.

Inase is a really amazing and beautiful place. If you're looking for peace after spending time in Kyoto or other big cities, it's the best place to get a rest. Staff is very polite and friendly, breakfast is delicious, and the garden inside is beautiful. We had some troubles with the luggage, but they helped us to deal with it, so grateful for that. This place is 10/10. Don't hesitate and just book...

Clean, friendly, comfort and convenient location!

This is a Japanese-style B&B with a great atmosphere. It is said that it was a granary a hundred years ago and was later converted into a B&B. The floor makes a creaking sound when you step on it. I had a fantasy in my mind about whether the black coal balls described by Hayao Miyazaki would appear in the same way. I walked around barefoot, without a speck of dust. Very clean and tidy

The homestay has done a great job in every detail. There are two places that left a particularly deep impression on me. The first picture is a hot water bottle stuffed into the bed. In fact, the air conditioner was set to over 20 degrees in advance, which was already very warm. Sometimes, a little bit of excessive service can really touch people's hearts. The fourth picture shows the organic lemons...

So its very near the temples and attractions so thats nice. Also away from the kyoto station so consider that if youre also into that. The hostel allowed me to leave my bag before and after checkout so thats perfect. It is also clean and well maintained, though toilet locks can be a bit tricky. They also have a cafe below, then a place to hangout with people and strangers. Have small kitchen with everything...

This hostel is very clean and very reasonable. They allow you to drop off your bags early while you explore Kyoto. The cafe downstairs is very good but messed up my order multiple times.

Perfect location ... super friendly staffs... the beds were clean and comfortable .... toilets in each floor so pretty convenient ... four clean bathrooms so u don’t have to wait long ... small though... the breakfast menu in the cafe , which is in the first floor will not disappoint you... I recommend the yummy pancakes... well, good place to stay while visiting kyoto... and yeah, the price is very...

We were so impressed about many things in this hostel. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and were tended to daily by housekeeping. The beds themselves had privacy screens and the bedding was a good weight for the summer. The dorm rooms were air conditioned at night so sleep was comfortable. The guesthouse faces a busy street so there is some Noise but generally the streets quiet down at night...

Yunji, Kenji, ryohei, and kachan were super friendly and helpful. They are proficient in English and will gove you awesome recommendations to cater for your stay in Kyoto. The rooms were spacious and clean.

they have a very nice crews and they'll be able to help you if you need any. there's a coffee shop in the first floor. and you can buy a one day pass bus ticket from the receptionist, you only had pay 500¥.
